Business ProfileforRudy's Auto Body & Paint

2/12/24 I took my car into Rudys Auto ****************************** I signed off on an agreement that stated if my final bill was to exceed $100 that the work on the car would have to be agreed upon. After reaching out multiple times for an estimate I was told I would not receive one unless I came in. I came into the shop and receive an estimate that I did not sign off on. I told him I wanted to look into other avenues. After doing so I showed up to have my car towed to a new shop. He had disassembled my vehicle and said he would not allow us to tow the vehicle unless I paid $711.0 for tear apart / reassembly. According to the ***** You can cancel repairs if they exceed the estimate and the repair shop must reassemble the vehicle, unless it is unsafe to drive. The shop may charge you for tear-down and reassembly only if you were given notice of that charge on the estimate. There was no notice given of these charges in the initial document. Nor did I give any approval for work to proceed on the car. The shop also did not put the car back together, they tore it apart and expect a payment as well as left it torn apart.The shop owner is now threatening to send the car to impound if he is not paid the amount. He also said if we did not leave his shop we were going to get hurt. He is holding the car and trying to have it impounded. Currently no money has been exchanged with the shop.
